Gum Karaya (Powdered & Crystal)

Gum Karaya is the dried exudate of the Sterculia Urens tree. These are large bush trees that grow about 9 metres high. In order to produce the gum, the trees are tapped and exudation begins immediately and continues for several days forming irregular lumps (or tears) which may weigh up to 5 pounds. The exudate is allowed to dry on the tree and is later collected, broken, cleaned and sorted. On average, a tree can be tapped about 5 times during its lifetime.
The highest quality of raw gum collected is during the hot months of April, May and June right before the monsoon. High grades are white to tan in colour, translucent and nearly free of organic matter and bark.
